I feel so awful for hoping I don’t make it to my due date.. 38 weeks is what I’m hoping for

But let me explain… PUPPPS is absolutely torture it’s intense burning/itching that nothing helps alleviate and doesn’t go away until after birth..

I’m absolutely miserable and I still have a few months to go… I've tried everything they’ve suggested. Oatmeal baths, lotion (I’ve already gone through a tub and a half of lotion), their medicated cream, wearing loose and long sleeved clothing yes even in the hot weather etc NOTHING IS HELPING

I keep accidentally breaking open my skin due to scratching in my sleep (I try my best not to scratch during the day but can’t help it at night)

I’m genuinely at a loss on what to do 😭

Anyways rant over I’m sorry for complaining

Tiger balm. Trust me! Stick it out mama. I know it’s rough but full term is the goal! 🫂

Only people who have experienced pregnancy will understand how hard it is on the body, mentally, emotionally and physically. Don't feel awful because you feel uncomfortable, this doesn't make you a bad person, you are human. All the best for the remainder of your pregnancy. May you and baby both be healthy. 🩷 🫂 🌻 🙏

@MommaBear Im sorry you are having a rough time, I do understand, I also had some issues with my pregnancy and wanted it to be over. How long still before your baby arrives?

Do not feel awful, that sounds like pure torture! 38 weeks is a good gestation! If someone has made you feel bad about hoping you have your daughter 2 weeks early, tell me, I’ll deal with them.

@RebelRaven I think it’s just my own mom guilt making me feel guilty for wishing it to be over sooner since this is the last baby

@MommaBear sweetheart we ALL do! I was done at 7 months because I got put on rest.
